    Welp, it blew up during a test fire today. Massive explosion. Hard to fathom how many people worked hard on that, now they have to rebuild the launch pad too, this probably will push Artemis III back a bit, too.

      Happens exactly at the 9:00:00 mark (time at the top). A good reminder of why tests are important.

          Dare I say a beautiful mushroom cloud? If you haven't been there on a tour, imagine the scaffolding of the Statue of Liberty, except blown up now. There are a number of launch complexes, but this one (36) is one of the bigger ones and has been used IIRC by New Glenn for their massive rocket launches (only beat by Starship and Artemis).

              Not that I care, but that video I posted earlier of the tour of their launch pad... I really enjoyed watching it and learning all about it, and MAN that puts the destruction in context about what was lost.
